The Chem-Tainer TC2454AA is a 105-gallon open top batch storage tank in natural white polyethylene, standing 54 inches tall on a 24-inch diameter (24 x 24 in footprint). When you need vertical batch capacity where floor space is tight, this cylindrical open top tank gives you room to mix, settle, or stage water-based contents without a wide base. The open top design means easy top access for filling, manual additions, and visual checks on what is inside, and the natural white shell lets you read fluid level through the wall.
Will this tank work for your job?
This is a 105-gallon white open top tank measuring 54 inches high by 24-inch diameter. Filled with plain water it carries about 876 pounds, so size your pad, platform, or mezzanine for that load before you fill it. What sets this shell apart is the specific gravity 1.9 rating: at maximum rated contents it can carry roughly 1,664 pounds, so it handles denser water-based batches such as brine, slurry make-up, or mineral-laden process water that a standard SG-1.0 or SG-1.5 open-top tank is not rated for. That high-SG headroom is the reason to choose this storage tank over a lighter one, but always confirm your stored fluid against the polyethylene resin before you commit. Use our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match the 105-gallon capacity and 24.0 x 24.0 footprint to your space and fill schedule.
Setting it up the right way
A tall, narrow tank like this carries its weight high, so a level, fully supported base is not optional. The 24-inch round footprint should sit on a flat, continuous surface that contacts the entire bottom. For above-ground installs on a slab, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the framework. See the technical drawing on this page for exact dimensions and any molded detail before you build the pad or order a stand. As supplied, this open top tank has no molded outlets, bulkhead fittings, gaskets, or lid: any drain, outlet, bulkhead fitting plus gasket, or cover must be added separately and gasket-sealed by the installer. The most common mistake on a batch tank this shape is undersizing or unleveling the support and letting the full water load rock a top-heavy tank. Call 866-418-1777 if you want help spec'ing the right add-on fittings and lid for your setup.
Common uses
This open tank works well for batch staging, mixing make-up water, rainwater or grey-water holding, and similar storage where you want open access from the top. If you are aggregating reuse water, our overview of industrial water reuse tank topology covers quality-banded storage trains. For larger emergency reserves, the fire-water reservoir tank design guide shows where a tank like this fits in a private fire-protection stack. If you need bottom drainage and a low residual heel instead of open-top staging, compare geometries in our breakdown of Chem-Tainer cone-bottom tanks at 30 vs 45 degrees.
This tank ships LTL freight from the West Babylon, New York plant, which is the only origin for this model, so buyers far from the Northeast should pull a live ZIP quote early since the tall 54-inch profile drives LTL class and dimensional weight.
